From my former career as an International Springbok Rugby Captain to becoming a Partner with Elixirr as a Business Consultant, I'm able to help accelerate growth and contribute to an aligned business structure. 

My passion for business and appreciation for storytelling have allowed me to create and curate a valuable and extensive network of positive relationships worldwide. 

My network is a large part of my net worth - and I believe in always turning up, both personally and professionally.

As a partner at Elixirr, I can help companies in a changing marketplace. We help define strategy, direction and implementation in a way that challenges norms, builds on new opportunities and uses emerging technology to improve business performance. 

I have the experience and ability to positively affect startup endeavours, as well as businesses that need a new and different set of eyes on their future.

If your organisation could benefit, let's connect and make an impact together.

New year.
Clean slate.
A new chance to get off your bum and really do something. 

2025 is behind us so...
Reset, refocus, and go again!

Regardless of whether you're a sportsman, a businessman, or a parent.

Thanks to everyone I’ve worked with, learned from, and shared the journey with.

Elixirr. Friends. Family. This community.

Let's make 2026 a phenomenal year!

From my former career as an International Springbok Rugby Captain to entrepreneur, consultant, commentator/pundit and public speaker, I have always thrived on collaboration. 

My passion for business and appreciation for storytelling has allowed me to both create and curate a valuable and extensive network of personal and professional relationships across the world.

I have the experience and ability to positively affect sports endeavours, as well as businesses that are invested in change and optimisation. 
My sweet spot is the intersection of the two and this is precisely where my role at Elixirr comes in. 
As a partner I apply my sports background and business knowledge to help companies in a changing marketplace. We help define strategy, direction and implementation in a way that challenges norms, builds on new opportunities and uses emerging technology to improve business performance. 

Family and fatherhood are my greatest joys and priority. You can often find me on or next to the kids sports field over the weekend. 
I am an Arsenal and Springbok rugby fan and also enjoy a good book. 

My network is a large part of my net worth - and I believe in always turning up, both personally and professionally.

This one has been doing the rounds, and I had to share.

You'll find little reminders everywhere about how beautiful this country is. Sometimes they're in the dollar-to-rand conversion rate graph.  🤣

The rand is getting stronger. 💪

Merry Christmas, everyone. 🎄

Hope you’re getting a proper break with family, friends, and good food.

Thank you to everyone I’ve worked with, laughed with, and learned from this year - Elixirr, clients, partners, the whole rugby family, and all of you here on LinkedIn.

It’s been a big one.

Plenty more to come in 2026.

Enjoy the day, stay safe, and hold your people close.

Cheers,
Bob

Spent some time at the Alexander Estate with a few friends and none other than Thriston Lawrence, fresh off another strong run

Big thank you to Stephen Newton for hosting us, and for putting together this beautiful piece of paradise.

The private wine tasting was top-class - we couldn't help but have a great time!

If this looks like something you'd enjoy, Alexander Estate is open for bookings and private tastings.
